Frankly my dear, I don’t give a Foolishness.

Snow. Rain. More snow. Sleet. Oh yeah, freezing temps. How to survive a winter gone mad? Why, read blogs of course! Here’s some of what I saw… GingerFightBack blew me away with The Norton. Brickhouse Chick used a very scientific sample of one for her survey on What Women Want, and Exploring Pixie wrote a strong post about women and Google Suggestions.

They, and all of you, were in great form this week!

But last week, there was foolishness, in the form of asking the stupidest question yet (probably), who should be the next antihero? And wow, were your heroes…anti. Here’s what you said. (As always, my comments are apathetic in italics.)

A fat bloke in a pink and lime green thong… Andro(Or as I like to call it, my college years.)Chris of Wombania… Andro(The wine gums keep him surly.)Dog the Bounty Hunter’s Aunt Freda… Andro(She trained Dog well. Except for the slobber.)The Soup Nazi. Hey, Seinfeld is making a comeback. (or King Kong) ~ RoS(He uses croutons to pelt his enemies into submission!)
(And no monkeys!!!)the last great hero flipped inside out? butimbeautiful(Wouldn’t that be “the first average meh”?)Beiber after Miley frees him from the clutches of Selena Gomez. ~merlinspielen(Pay no attention to the Lindsey Lohan behind the curtain.)devilishly handsome and unbelievably sexy.(Hmm…never thought of myself as an antihero…)Peter Parker’s Aunt May – John Phillips(Behind every great superhero is an aunt who wishes he’d clean his room.)Walgreens, for continuing to sell tobacco products next to the vitamins.(That’s got to be the silliest thing I’ve ever heard! Who would ever suggest that???)Did the Walgreens comment go through? That was mine! Erin E.(Oh…um…HI THERE!)To the muncher in the 4×4 behind me who is honking because i refuse to ice dance 1 Jaded 1(You were their only hope to beat the North Koreans at Sochi.)Ron Paul~~Addie(Able to bring government to a grinding halt! It’s Two First Names Man!)Dennis Rodman.(Or as he’s know in North Korea, Tall Annoying Man.)PMAO… Dick Cheney(Dick Cheney is a wonderful man. HEAR THAT, NSA???)Any govt official who gets to decide who gets benefits & who doesn’t – Benzeknees(I thought those were all former DMV agents?)Death. As in The Angel Of. I hear he’s on Match.com GO DEATH!(When did he break up with Taxes?)Death. I get so excited I forget to reveal myself – Marie (cyber house rules)(But you look so good in the intimidating black robe with the hood…)Hipster-man. He solved that crime before you even heard it happened. BT(If only he looked as cool in his fedora as Kojak.)Effervescent Banana Man —Linda Vernon(He…peels his opponents apart and defeats them while they’re…split.)Men who slide naked over bars. (Carrie Rubin)(Oh, like anyone ever does that.)Olivia Pope. I couldn’t help myself. I love her. Deanna from MMV(Versus her mortal enemy: Nielsen Ratings Man.)Rush Limbaugh – Twindaddy(Anti “hero”, not anti “Christ”.)Obama. He’s already the anti-Christ, right? Elyse 54.5(Obama and Limbaugh are the same person??? So much is clear now…)Toting beer and bacon..obviously a Canuck! Kayjai(It’s Canadian Bacon. DARN YOU, EVIL WIZARD!!!)Theses guys(But can they get out persistent stains?) (Full disclosure: My comment stolen shamelessly from something Rutabaga said last week.)Pull my finger, and I’ll tell ya… come on, do it – Rutabaga(Sure, but…why are you wearing a gas mask?)

We can’t name the winner, because antiheroes shun the spotlight. But they’re out there… And from the offered choices, the most popular was the guy who writes these polls. Thanks!…I think…

This week, love is in the air. At least, that’s what Hallmark and the jewelry companies would have us believe.
But for those of us that don’t buy into that, what can we do? Well, that’s this weeks poll. Answer often, but answer soon. Because while love is timeless, this poll closes Wednesday, 19 Feb at 2359. Please don’t go over 3 write-in answers, and if you like, leave a name on your write-ins, and I’ll link back to you next week.

Take Our PollAnd as we head into a (probably not any) warmer weekend, enjoy this – greatest product ever!Have a great week, everyone.

Awww! It’s the first time I’ve been featured in your Foolishnesses (? did I spell it right?)
Also, colour-blind Corgi was just sent to my sister who has one. She loved it.
Finally, that video finally convinced me to buy an iPhone.

Oh, man! If I didn’t have a car to pack I’d love to sit down and read this. But as it is, it will probably need to wait until I’m in a semi-decrepit roadside motel somewhere to catch up. But something to look forward to, yay! Stay warm, Guap, and thanks for making Wyoming a little more fun (when the time comes).

Gracias, Guapo! I am glad all that hard work and research has paid off! Phew! I hope you can use those tips with your LOVE today. 🙂 Looking forward to reading the other featured posts. Feliz Dia de San Valentin!

So…. is there really a lot of snow out in the east? I thought it was just some wag-the-dog propaganda. You’re all just kidding us right? I mean, when I look out my window blinded by the sun peeking through the palm trees I find it absurd that it could be colder than the inside of my freezer anywhere in the world…

p.s. do you have any remedy for a freezer that can’t get cold enough to keep ice cream frozen? this is earth shattering news here.

p.s. having conversations with myself can be fun because there’s nothing one-sided to them
p.p.s. mangrove clipping? sounds like i’ll be getting toe nails in the mail
p.p.p.s. want my address? i want those toe nails, i need them in my collection.

There’s nothing I love better than a conversation I don’t have to be present for. (Especially if I’m holding up my end of it.) I think I have one of those Iphone Sames. I bought it because it not only does it have an “I”, it also has a “me”.

Not just Hallmark and jewelers; don’t forget about the poor florists. Among all the retail and service businesses during this Valentine’s holiday, florists suffered too. Can you imagine having frost-bitten red roses sent to your love?

This is absolutely the funnest thing ever – reading all the answers to your weekly poll – now, if I were to answer it, I just put it in that gray box, with my name?
Wow. That IS a lot of work for you. Do you have an assistant?
And might I just add that the sheer variety of craziness –
Spanish, vagina, Twindaddy spelling potato and patahto phonetically – just dazzles the mind…
you win the Internet.
I hope you had the best Valentine’s Day. xo

OMG!
My Ex hated that I liked to “pick out my own jewelry”-
He never understood that I’d rather have something I adored than something he picked out and I never wore.
You sure you don’t have any brothers?

You’re smart to defer the celebration. I’m ambiguously involved with someone who isn’t into the forced fun of Hallmark holidays but just does nice stuff on a regular basis, as it occurs to him. Turns out I like that better. (It probably helps that I hate to shop and could care less about jewelry…)

I am seriously needing to finish my coffee before I read anymore posts here, you are so hysterical, I spilled my java way too close to the laptop for comfort !!!! =) =) Wanted to check out your blog because of all your thoughtful comments on LDG’s and Punky’s blogs… =) LOVE finding a new blog to read, have a great weekend ! =)

Nice to meet you!
If you could send a kind note both to Dell Repair and Starbucks at Home, I work on commission for both of them. 😉
Sounds like you keep some good company online. I’ll be over to say hi in a bit.

I missed Valentine’s Day. On February 13, hubby sent a couple of sweet notes from work. I wrote back, “Not interested. Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. Talk to me then.” Tomorrow came and went with nary an I Love You. Hmmph.

It was all quite tongue-in-cheek. He laughed when he got my note. The truth is, we don’t do a lot of celebrating on holidays here, so nothing special on Valentine’s Day was the norm. We went out to dinner on Sunday for no reason and had a lovely time. 🙂

Guap, I have been MIA, both reading and writing, and seem to always get to these polls after they have closed. Funny stuff you gather here, I too, appreciate all the work this must take! I’ll try to do better in the future. 🙂
